On the advice of Brad I am considering forking out for some of Mueller's cool ass bearing foo for my suspension.
What tools do I need to fit them? Thanks, Fiid. |

Ok, enuff fun.

I see the difference in the instructions.. :-)
It looks like these can be tapped in using a mallet or a hammer w/ a piece of wood if care is taken. When I decide to order them - do I go through Tarett Engineering, or is it better to go straight to you (Mike)?????? Thanks, Fiid. |

You can purchase from me, shipping would be cheaper, or even free if we meet up for an event.
The last set of rear bearings that I installed, I was able to pull a JP (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) and use the hammer method......in engineering terms it's "use a suitable drift" LOL I tried a piece of wood, that didn't last long, finally a 1" thick piece of steel on top of the tube with a 5# sledge did the trick. Was not as bad as it sounds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) A press would have been nice, but my Harbor Frieght special is currently about 2" too short (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

Hey DUDE;
Putting you on notice for a complete front and back. The V-8 is going and now we are building a 914-6. So, we will want your bearings for the entire suspension. Let me know what the price will be. Steve Hurt Shoguneagle |
